Non-personnel cost levers for your interim assignment
Savify negotiates indirect costs, implements the results in the contracts and evidences every saving per supplier. For interim managers acting as CPO, CFO, head of procurement or managing director who have to deliver measurable results within a fixed term.
Situations in an interim assignment
The assignment runs for six months, the cost targets are in the brief, and the team is busy with day-to-day business.
Quick wins are expected in the first weeks, but there are no reliable figures yet.
Procurement is understaffed or practically non-existent for indirect categories.
Contracts have run unchanged for years, and price increases were simply accepted.
There is no budget for external consultants.
At the end, the impact has to be handed over to the line organisation, fully documented.
What Savify contributes to your assignment
You lead the assignment. We deliver the implementation in indirect procurement, aligned with your targets and your term.
Negotiation capacity without building a team
We run the supplier negotiations without you creating positions or pulling your team away from daily business.
Spend and contract analysis in days
Our AI-supported analysis of creditor list, contracts and invoices shows within a few days where the levers are.
Benchmarks from ongoing negotiations
Current market terms from our ongoing negotiations make your target values robust.
Prioritisation by impact within your term
Contracts with fast impact come first, so that results become visible within your assignment.
Savings evidence per supplier and category
Every saving with baseline, effective date and term effect, ready for the steering committee and measure controlling.
Clean handover to the line
Contracts, terms and evidence are documented so that the line organisation can carry on after your assignment.
Non-personnel costs: the fastest measurable lever in an assignment
In an interim assignment, what counts is what becomes visible within the term. Personnel measures need lead time and alignment, investments only pay off later. Non-personnel costs, by contrast, can be reduced contract by contract, without a social plan and without investment.
Every negotiated saving has a baseline, an effective date and a term effect. This allows it to be reflected in the cost programme and in measure controlling, and to be reported to the steering committee within the first 100 days.
The impact lasts beyond your assignment. The new terms are in the contracts and invoices, and the line organisation takes them over with complete documentation.
Four ways to deploy Savify
Quick-win package for the first 100 days
We negotiate the contracts with the fastest impact first, so that you can present results early.
Example: ten contracts with fast impact, results in the steering committee.
Delivery in the background
We act as your delivery arm; towards management and committees you remain the sender.
Example: your steering committee, your presentation, our negotiation results.
Non-personnel cost module in the cost programme
Savify implements a clearly defined measure; steering and measure controlling stay with you.
Example: measure “Indirect costs” with target value and weekly report.
Potential check before or at the start of the assignment
We assess the non-personnel cost potential before you commit to targets or set up the action plan.
Example: a two-page potential estimate for the kick-off with management.

Frequently asked questions on interim management
How quickly will I see first results in my assignment?
First negotiated savings typically materialise within a few weeks. We prioritise contracts so that results show up in the steering committee within the first 100 days.
Do I need a budget for this?
No. Savify is paid exclusively out of savings realised at the client company.
Who faces management and suppliers?
Towards management, advisory board and committees, you remain the sender. We agree our role towards suppliers with you in advance.
What happens to the results when my assignment ends?
The new terms are written into the contracts and stay effective beyond your assignment. We hand over contracts, evidence and terms to the line organisation, fully documented.
What data do you need to start?
Creditor list, contracts and invoices for the relevant categories. You flag strategic suppliers in advance.
Do I receive a share of the fee?
Savify is paid exclusively out of savings realised at the client company. Partner models with interim providers are possible. An individual interim manager only receives a share if it has been disclosed to and approved by the client.
Do you also work with interim providers?
Yes. Partner models with interim providers are possible, for example when Savify is brought into several assignments. We define the framework in advance.
